“We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can’t bomb it into peace.”
Power to the Peaceful!
Another awesome spoken word piece by Climbing PoeTree, featuring Leah Song & Biko Casini (from Rising Appalachia). Enjoy!
Speaking out for Palestine is the right thing to do despite the fact that it causes a lot of anger in those who have bought into the pro Israel propaganda that has been so heavily fed to us for ages. So many people still get their news from the mainstream media and have no idea what is really happening. The band Coldplay received harsh criticism and backlash this week after suggesting their fans check out the song below. Give it a listen… and never be afraid to speak your truth. Especially when it is in support of human rights.
“The Palestinians in Gaza live in conditions that now replicate those first imposed on Jews by the Nazis in the ghettos set up throughout Eastern Europe. Palestinians cannot enter or leave Gaza. They are chronically short of food—the World Health Organization estimates that more than 50 percent of children in Gaza and the West Bank under 2 years old have iron deficiency anemia and reports that malnutrition and stunting in children under 5 are “not improving” and could actually be worsening. Palestinians often lack clean water. They are crammed into unsanitary hovels. They do not have access to basic medical care. They are stateless and lack passports or travel documents. They live with massive unemployment. They are daily dehumanized in racist diatribes by their occupiers as criminals, terrorists and mortal enemies of the Jewish people.”
~Chris Hedges
This quote from the awesome Chris Hedges, came before the massive onset of violence currently being inflicted on Gaza. Freedom for Palestine!
“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just discovered this husband and wife duo ~ Johnnyswim. Love this song and thought I would share it with you. Enjoy!
So blessed to see these guys perform last night alongside Trevor Hall, Brett Dennen, and Michael Franti. LOVE them all, but man Soja really blew me away. And to cap off an amazing night of music and magic, the universe surprised us with all access backstage passes. Life is good. Music is such powerful medicine!
“Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream. I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been. To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen. They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed.” ~Led Zeppelin, Kashmir lyrics
